nah lho nah lho

in love.
gawat.
ini sumber kesenangan, sekaligus asal muasal dari keribetan berikutnya.
aktivitas gak penting seperti senyum-senyum sendiri, inget-inget tadi ngapain aja setelah menghabiskan waktu bersama.
itu belum ribet. jadi panjang kalau udah mulai nungguin sms, ngeliatin hp, to call or not to call. jadi ruwet kalau udah mulai nebak-nebak, dia in love juga apa nggak. dan mulai berharap semoga iya.

what's with the...???!!???!?

recently i've been developing quite a significant amount of zits on my face.
yikes! never had those problems before... well, i had twice maybe. one for having a very bad majorly depressive breakup, the other one caused by an overzealous will on trying a new and very posh cleanser.
this time i had no idea, what was the cause of damage.
until yesterday a friend of mine came with a mythical information.
she said if you grew zits on your forehead that means you had a problem in the love (and, or, lust) and relationship area. if it's on your chin that means the problem is work related.
hmm... no zits on chin, but there are almost six red bumps on the forehead. waks!
love and lust alert!??!
and so today i began to go over what was happening in my love and lust life..hehe.
the result is:
come to think of it, yes, the red bumps started to grow just right after i decided to close down the chocolate factory and walk out from the strawberry field. the bumps went berserk. and when things had calm down, the bumps went to cool off as well. until one very crazy misty head over heels night ruin the 'almost smooth skin' situation.
after that, things were just uncontrolable. and so are those annoying zits.
so, starting yesterday evening after i got the mythical tips, i decided to be back in control of the love and lust things, and hopefully it will bring my glowing and smooth skin back.
finger crossed. dermatologist ready.

money CAN buy happiness

beruntunglah siapa pun yang bisa menganggap bahwa money CAN buy happiness.
buat yang merasa money CAN'T buy happiness, pastilah sudah sangat tidak bahagia, sampai sesuatu sesederhana uang saja sudah tidak bisa memberikan mereka kebahagiaan... hehehe.
gue merasa beruntung, dengan membeli barang-barang simpel saja, sudah senang. (apalagi yang tidak simpel...hehe).
Here are the list of things that needs money to get it, and as simple as that, will give instant happiness for me ;P

segelas es teh manis
teh botol dingin
caramel frappucinno
a new glossy magazine (teen vogue, vogue, elle, in style, nylon, russh, frankie)
quirky accessories (be it at 1825, topshop, diva, some commercial bazaar, crummy 2nd hand market)
salmon sushi any time of day
a plate of fried calamari @ fish 'n co
a stroll on orchard road pavement
a lazy sunbathe by the beach overlooking the blue ocean in bali

well, that's about just that! how easy it is for me to be happy...hehehe. okay, a stroll on champs d'ellysses will surely make the day, or a lazy sunbathe in bulgari resort will be grand. but it doesn't necessarily so. for some, it might. but for me, those simple things, will grant me a smile. on the face. and in my heart.... sigh.....
thank You.

a new beginning. of forever and ever.

kalimat yang gue tunggu-tunggu akhirnya keluar juga dari mulut itu.

puaskah gue? akan berhenti sampai di situ kah? atau akan ada tindakan follow up terhadap pernyataan tersebut?

rasanya, ingin ditindaklanjuti. tapi otak berkata lain.

jadilah pernyataan yang meluncur, gue biarkan begitu saja.

ditanggapi dengan senyum dan sedikit joke-joke garing nan demokratis sepertinya respon yang terbaik saat itu.

kembali ke rumah, adegan pernyataan berulang otomatis di pikiran.

wah gawat! bagaimana ini? ah, ini pasti karena unsur euphoria semata. seminggu lagi pasti sudah menguap.

sampai hari ini, dua minggu sudah berjalan. dan ingatan itu kok masih lekat saja?

tapi sekarang gue memutuskan untuk membulatkannya jadi sebuah full circle.

cukup selesai sampai di situ. one down. one to go.

(hmm... actually the other one has gone away before, come to think of it).

okay, let me rephrase it.

one down. one gone.

saatnya memulai petualangan baruuuuu!!!
